The Chick-fil-A Bowl aims to bid to host the NCAA football championship in Atlanta.

Officials with the annual game made the statement Wednesday, following the news earlier in the day the Bowl Championship Series has been ended. Starting with the 2014 season, college football’s national championship will be decided by two semifinals and a national championship game. The new playoff agreement extends into the 2025 season.

“We believe we can assemble a compelling bid and play a significant role in college football’s new post season,” said Gary Stokan, Chick-fil-A Bowl president and CEO, in a statement. “As the future home of the new College Football Hall of Fame, Atlanta has it all … a world-class facility, a proven host city, transportation and lodging infrastructure, corporate support and a track record for successfully hosting major sports events that cannot be matched.”

In addition to opportunities to host the championship game, the national semi-finals or the new Champions Bowl, the Chick-fil-A Bowl remains committed to hosting the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta and elevating the position of the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, officials said.
